A system of the form, AgI-15.54Ag2O-20.71mol%MoO3, was found to exhibit its highest 300K conductivity (0.020S/cm) in the case of samples with a modifier/former ratio of 0.75. In order to increase the conductivity further, MoO3 was then partially replaced by ZnO. The system, AgI-15.54Ag2O-20.71(0.1ZnO-0.9MoO3), was found to have the highest conductivity (0.032S/cm). These samples were prepared by rapidly quenching melts of the constituents to liquid N temperatures. The use of Wagner’s polarization technique showed that the transference number for Zn-containing glass was greater than 0.9.
